A very nice day off is about to come to an end. What nicer way to finish it than with a nice dessert?

Pear tarte tatin was one of the few nice memories from The Famous Celebrity Chef Restaurant I Spent Only 6 Months In, I had some pears in the fridge and a chunk of puff pastry, so I briefly checked the method on the net and got to it.

I made some simple caramel from brown sugar and a bit of butter and cooked it off for a few minutes, then put some cored and peeled pear quarters in it, covered with cinnamon. Kept on turning them until cooked and soft.  I transferred it to the baking dish, all nicely arranged- photo- and covered with pastry, folding the edges underneath a little. And baked it off for about 35 minutes. When nice, golden and risen with caramel all around the puffed up edges, covered it with a flat plate and turned upside down. It worked!!! And served with lovely vanilla ice cream it  tasted great. I will modestly give myself 10 out of 10 for it tonight. 🙂

Thumbs up!
